I used to live in Sheffield in the early 1990s and of the two teams there preferred Wednesday as they played in a proper teams colours - back when Atkinson, Carlton Palmer, Pearson, and later Francis and Waddle were there. It was a decent crowd and a fun place on their big kop before seating was put in. I enjoyed them beating Palace and went a few times. They had decent fans, and enjoyed the last minute way Barnsley failed to get in the playoffs in 1991.
But Wednesday really need to fail so they can get Pearson in as manager. They know this, but probably won't admit it yet. Hopefully the playoffs will convince them.
They've rested their players yesterday, we've never won at Hillsborough, they always draw there against the top teams this year, we've a few players out - so my hope would be a draw there (would love a first win, of course) and then a decent game at the Amex.
